 give it a break, in Australia I pay anything from $0.69 - $0.80 per
 litre, there are approx 5 litres to a gallon, Europe is worse.  Its all
 relative, however I can tell you that one thing that impressed me most
 about America was a) how cheap petrol was, and b) how big your cars were
 (and I'm not sure what that implies about american men?), I mean,
 compared to the japanese models that the rest of the world drives, those
 chevy things were absolute petrol guzzlers.

I don't like paying a lot for fuel any more than anyone else, but it does seem
to me that we Americans consider cheap fuel our right, not a privilege.  The
same for cheap food.  I think we're pretty lucky, and rather spoiled (and that
includes myself).
